It had been a long season for Laura in the previous promotion she had worked for. Stress and unforeseen events alike helped in inserting the feelings of doubt and confusion in her mind. From lost battles to lost friends and family to controversial exits from the company in question, Laura had sustained it all. But she felt it was time for a change. Something she had contemplated for quite a while now. So when she heard word of the Angels starting up the new promotion in Toronto she figured why not take a closer look at things and see if this could possibly be the move for her to make. As she enters the impressive structure of the Tower with her cell phone pressed against her ear she speaks to an unknown person...
[glow=red,2,300]...No not as of late...Honestly I have no idea where he is...He wasn't too happy with my up and just leaving so...Yeah and all the things that followed after my leaving too...Of course...I mean...Yeah...I know...I know...I just...Exactly...Need some time to get away y'know...I mean managing is my calling I feel and of course I'll continue but...[/glow]
Her words are cut off by the caller chiming in offering her opinion of things as Laura steps onto the elevator reaching over and pressing the correct floor number to her destination. As she rides along her turn to speak comes back up.
[glow=red,2,300]I know dear. And I appreciate it too. I really do but you've got your own problems to deal with. That's why I didn't call you again. Yes...Okay I deserve that...I'll remember next time...I promise...[/glow]
The caller chimes in again and begins speaking. Just then the doors to the elevator open up and Laura steps off and begins making her way toward the office of her old friend. A few more moments go by and before she knows it she's standing in front of the office of Casey Angel. A woman she had grown to love and trust like a sister. Something she couldn't say about too many people outside of her immediate family. She then takes the time to end the call and proceed with the reunion so to speak.
[glow=red,2,300]Well look...Okay...Of course I will...I'll try but I don't think...I'll call him sweetie...Alright...You too...Until then...Buh Bye...[/glow]
Laura then places her phone back into her purse as she throws it over her shoulder. Releasing a small sigh she takes her hand placing a small knock on the door of the office in front of her. As she waits for an answer her vision trails off at the sights and sounds surrounding the busy work place that inside of Angel Towers. Then as she turns her face back to the door...

.....It swings open, Casey standing on the other side. Her face lights up and she almost tackles Laura as she give her a hug. The two laugh like a couple of giddy school girls as they reunite. Casey grabs her by the arm and drags her into the office to sit down, talking the whole time.
COME IN! COME IN! What are you doing? How was New York? Your flight? Your mom and dad? Are you seeing anyone? Does he have any friends? Are they hot? TELL ME! TELL ME! TELL ME!
They sit down on a comfy leather couch as Casey bombards her with questions, eagerly awaiting Laura's answers as she thinks of more.

It's all Laura can do to speak as the two women laugh and giggle as if they were back in grade school as they're both plopped down on the plush black leather couch in Casey's office. As soon as Laura goes to open her mouth, Casey seemingly releases every possible question she could pull out of her head at the time. Laura tries to answer and actually keep up with laughter in her voice...Casey chiming in with a different question after each answer...
[glow=red,2,300]Well I'm here to see if...New York was...Meh...Casey the flight was fine sweetie...They're fine Casey...Well yeah...That's where this comes from actually...[/glow]
She actually throws her hand up revealing the almost eye blinding diamond resting on her ring finger but Casey keeps on going and she continues to attempt to answer as her laughter grows at the showing by her long time friend...
[glow=red,2,300]Yes he has quite a few Case...Hot? I don't see them in that way Casey so you'd have to judge them for yourse...[/glow]
But before Laura can continue on, Casey reaches down grabbing her hand and bringing it up in front of them both as she gazes at the magnificent specimen of a diamond Laura had just flashed to her old friend. Laura smiles and blushes as she watches Casey's face light up even more when she realizes what that ring on her finger meant. She slightly turns her head from her friend in a tiny moment of bashfulness until Casey replies with...

Casey's eyes widen as she finally notices the diamond. Her mouth hangs wide open and she is left speechless as she stares at it, the light gleaming onto the diamond to make it shine even brighter. Casey finally regains her composure and manages to close her mouth. After another brief moment of amazement, she utters a response.
OH......MY......GOODNESS! WHO gave you THAT? That is what I call a ROCK! You gotta introduce me to this guy. He better have a brother or a rich relative or something! I want me one of those rings!
She grasps Laura's hand as she continues to stare at the diamond, still stricken by it's beauty. It's all Laura can do to keep Casey from breaking her hand as she twists and turns her wrist to try and see the diamond from every possible angle. She finally releases her grip and looks at Laura. She waits for a response as she continues to glance down at the diamond while trying to listen intently.

Laura takes a few seconds to giggle at the reaction from her old friend over the sight of the ring on her finger. With a huge smile on her face she responds...
[glow=red,2,300]Well...You asked me if I was seeing someone and this is the answer to that question...*giggles*...His name is Cross...Cross Genevese...But...I'm sure if you know him, you know him by another name...King Vegas...I even hear rumors that he may be coming here to APW...He hasn't said anything to me about it though...We've kinda been...Out of contact...For the past week or so...So...I'm not really sure but...It is a possibility...[/glow]
As Casey releases her death grip on Laura's hand and wrist, she takes her other hand and grabs the one with the ring on it and takes a few moments to glare at it herself. Thoughts begin to run through her head once again about some of the events that had happened over the course of the past 5 months. She shakes it off not wanting her friend to see her appearing as if she was troubled or worried.
[glow=red,2,300]Yeah we've been...Involved for about 6 months now and...It's just like any other relationship y'know...Ups and downs...Good and bad...But Case I'll tell you, when it's good it's GOOD...Tee Hee...But hey enough about me girl...Because from what I see...[/glow]
She pauses as her eyes switch to surveying the lavish office Casey had for herself in the Towers.
[glow=red,2,300]...From what I see...YOU'RE the woman of the hour girl...Also...I'd like to say how sorry I was to hear about your father's passing...I know you and the girls must still be dealing with that and it's never an easy thing...So enough about me Case...How are YOU doing sweetie?[/glow]

Casey slumps over as a frown crosses her face. She was still very emotional about talking about the passing of her father. It was too sudden for her and definitely nothing she wanted to deal with at such a young age. She does her best to keep the mood light and answer the question posed by Laura.
I'm doing ok I guess. These past few weeks have been tiresome to say the least. With daddy's passing and the emotional rollercoaster I've been on since to the opening up of APW's doors and prospects swarming us like bees to their hive, I have yet to find a good night's sleep. My eyes are starting to get baggy, same for Candi and Chan.
You know how much Candi adores her appearance, so the bags aren't helping with her. Then Chan stays mad at the world anyway, so her being tired and grouchy is never a good combination. I fear she may run some talent away if someone says the wrong thing to her. If she chokes someone we could lose everything and not be able to honor our father's last request of us.
It's just been hell trying to keep their spirits up and myself in check as well as keep them away from each other. You know what happens every time those two get together. Throw a couple of bad weeks on top of that, the results are never good.
I just pray we can make it through this opening and get our feet set. Hopefully, things will be easier afterwards. I'm just happy Dick has been here to help us through all of this. No telling where we would be without him.
Casey leans back on the couch, the fatigue setting in on her. She wishes she could go to sleep right here and now, but it's barely past noon. There are still many interviews to do before the day is done. Probably gonna be almost midnight before she gets to bed, only to wake at 5 AM again for another busy day. She seriously needs a couple of good secretaries. She waits for Laura's reply as she stares at her with a tiresome gaze.

Laura watches on as her good friends demeanor changes for the worse within seconds of her inquiry of the past few weeks of her life. She knew without a doubt that it wouldn't be easy for her to speak about the passing of her father and taking over APW for him, but she also knew Casey. And she knew that if she didn't get it out sooner or later things would only build up to a not so pretty reaction. And that was something, as a friend, she couldn't allow. She listens intently as Casey relays the mind state and dealings of the sisters as of late and she sees that the more Casey spoke about it the more she seemed to sulk over the situation. As she finishes up the story...
[glow=red,2,300]I see...That must be extremely hard to have to deal with sweetie but...You're strong girl...Probably the strongest of the three Angel sisters so I know you'll pull through...No doubt in my mind about it...
And I wouldn't worry about Chan and Candi so much Case. They're from the same stock as you so of course they're capable of dealing as well. But I don't think working yourselves to death is the answer though sweetie. If you continue to do that without getting a break or any rest you'll crack. I think maybe you're...You girls may be...Pushing yourselves a little too hard actually...It's a good thing you three have Richard around though like you said...Maybe you can give him some of the talent to deal with? It could make things even more easy on you three while you're still trying to deal y'know?...But...
I see I opened a can of worms that didn't need to be opened...The look on your face tells me that...I'm sorry for your loss Case...How much you'll never know sweetie...But of course you know I'll always be there if you should need me for anything...[/glow]
With that Laura reaches over grabbing Casey's hand giving it a friendly squeeze as she awaits words from her old friend.

A warm smile crosses Casey's face as Laura grabs her hand. They had both been through so much recently. The stress over the past couple of weeks was slowly fading away as the two talked. She was happy that Laura had come to stay with them.
We hope it will all be worth it once everyone is signed on. We have truly found some amazing talent that wants to work here. I only hope we can make APW as great as he has.
Casey drifts off for a moment as her mind wonders. They had been doing their best to make sure APW was a place people would want to work at over the past few weeks. She had been stressed to her very limits since they took over and the season hadn't even began yet. She tried not to think about what else she would have to endure when that happens.

[glow=red,2,300]Aww nonsense Case...Things'll work out honey. I'm sure of it. Like you said you gals have rounded up some of the best talent in the business. And that's saying something for a company that basically had to start over from scratch. When things DO get settled in, I'm sure the load won't seem so heavy sweetie. You just gotta give yourself a break once in a while. All of you should actually. We both KNOW how you three can get if you're all in a bad mood at the same time now Case! That would NOT be pretty for the talent to see you gals at each others throats...[/glow]
Casey looks to Laura with a somber look on her face. She knew Laura was right. She knew she was possibly pushing herself too hard and too fast. She had to slow down and from the look in her eyes, Laura could tell she could very well use that "break" now if it was possible. But Laura knew it was still early in the day and there was no chance Casey would try to get some off time at this time of the day, so Laura offers up a bit of humor to attempt to cheer her up as she sees that her mood really hadn't picked up any.
[glow=red,2,300]Well...I know somethings we could do to get a smile on that face of yours...We could either take my boyfriends credit card and put a dent in the limit?...OR...Something you would enjoy EVEN MORE...We could get Candice in here and I'll hold her down while you hog tie her like old times? *giggles*....[/glow]

A smile crosses Casey's face. it was seemingly the first real one she had shown over the past few weeks.
I think Candi is under enough stress already, much like Chantell and myself. I'll save the hog tieing for later on when all of this is just another day. As for the shopping part with your boyfriend's credit card, free money is always nice. If you don't think he'll be mad......
Casey let's her last words drift a bit, letting Laura know she is up for some shopping. A trip to the local spa may be even better than shopping right now.

Hearing Casey's words, Laura then stands up, grabbing her hand and pulling her from the couch with a huge smile gracing her face as she says...
[glow=red,2,300]Mind? Hell girl he'll go completely ballistic by the time he gets the bill! But...At least we can get you cheered up a little bit...Now come on...Get OUT of this office for a few hours or so and let's go have some fun like we used to Case...And I'm not taking no for an answer! Tee Hee...[/glow]
Even though Casey seemed a little bit reluctant to go, Laura knew that all she needed was a little encouragement. A good push if you will. Within seconds Laura had led Casey to the door and left her there as she herself went back to Casey's desk to grab her purse before their departure. When she arrives back at the door beside Casey, Laura looks over to her friend and they share a small laugh and as Casey opens the door to her office, they both depart on their excursion setting out for some girl time. Oh and to find some magnificent shoes too of course.
FINISH
